Free Republic

What's with the hatred of Michele Bachmann at Free Republic lately? I've seen some psychotic paranoid drivel about her secretly working for Mitt Romney, but apparently there's more to it than that. Please help me out here, folks.

Just saw Sarah Palin on Hannity. When asked about Donald Trump possibly running as a Third Party Candidate, Sarah said that a year ago she would have resisted such an idea. But, the GOP has failed to do what the American people elected them to do (Repeal Obamacare, no budget passed, etc.) and if they "don't get their stuff together" there is going to be a Third Party rise up because the GOP has failed to do the job and give the people of America a sound message of their plan for America because they are so afraid of offending...

I cannot tell how much of this outrage about Sarah Palin's endorsement of McCain is feigned by those who do not wish her well. It is not principally to those folks that this post is directed. To those conservatives who are genuinely disappointed by Sarah Palin's decision to support McCain, let me say that I think Rush and Mark Levin understand it and have said that it is a question of loyalty and that loyalty is a virtue. That makes sense to me and, personally, I would be a little put off if she did otherwise, since it would look...

Sarah is now unelectable on a national stage. The “quitter” specter will hang around her neck like “swimmer” does to Ted Kennedy. You’ll be able to spot the realistic, clear thinking conservatives because they see and admit this early so we can put it behind us get on with identifying the candidates who can win in ‘12. BTW - This doesn’t rule out a tangential private career ala Newt or a run for a House or Senate seat (although I don’t know where at this point) but as a national candidate she is toast. That so many conservatives can’t see...

I am getting tired of seeing daily threads about Meghan McCain almost daily on FR. I don't watch network TV, and honestly never heard of her until several weeks ago. Could we just quit posting about her already, unless there is TRULY a news article that concerns her?????

There has been much talk of the 8 year BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome) from the left but I think it's time we admitted there are DS's on the right and we have to look no further than our own backyard here at FR to find the most glaring example, McCain Derangement Syndrome. McCain wasn't my preferred candidate. In fact, I'd have to go all the way back to Reagan to find my own preferred candidate victorious. But you never get everything you want in politics so many times you have to work with you got and make the best of...

If things really go south and all the advertising dried up, who would pay the bills to keep all the computers up? Will the whole system go belly up. Why wouldn't it? School me please.

Take this one question test to see where you stand on the bailout issue. Be honest and respond in the thread with your answer.

In a dream I wandered through a vast park, where many people also walked, and played and seemed happy and festive. Some were playing games, many laughing and buying things, enjoying food and drinks and snow cones at various merchants’ stands. Some carried boxes because for some reason they had to because of the things they bought. It was okay I decided and got some things and boxes too. It was fun. I'm tough and can even carry more. Even some vendors carried them. Among the crowd there were short people and very tall people, and now most were toting...

How appropriate that the Bill passed by the Senate tonight to "rescue" our financial markets has Chris Dodd's name attached to it -- chairman of the Senate committee overseeing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac aided by Barney Frank, committee chair on the House side, and both recipients of sweetheart deals all their political lives. From one Connecticut resident to the Nation, the bail-out is rescuing -- and rewarding -- the corrupt governance that has plagued our Nation since the "free press" took sides and now makes no excuse for their bias and twisted fairness. Accountability is their mantra until the...

I am so sick of the constant media bombardment on the POW issues. I think we need to push our senators to introduce a resolution in the Senate that states: "Terrorists are not POWs and the terrorists captured in Afganistan are not subject to the Geneva convention - only to US law" or even better pass a bill that contains similar language. Then we can see where John Kerry stands on the issue ....
